Thanks, Russ, We have lift off. So many thought we would not be here, yet here we are with five srartersm two being Freshmen and a bench of two more with one, a sixth man in the UConn tradition of winning big games with six, although Ice is not yet in the traditional sixth man form, yet she can cover whenneeded as she did aginst Duke while Asliyah was out.
Massey has it #3 UConn beating #9 USC 72-65 @ 68% which seems about right if we can bring the D without fouling which is our vulnerability.
No matter. Getting to the E8 with this team is a stellar feat.
An E8 with four each #1s and #3s. Wow!

The bookies have more to lose in this game than Massey or any of the modeling sites. Their livelihood depends on their accuracy. Right now, they have UConn as 3.5 point favorites. That is too close to call for me. I think this is a pick 'em game. Which team brings their A game? Between having the GOAT coaching staff and far superior tourney experience, that should favor UConn. But USC has 3 grad student starters whose college career will be over with a loss so I expect them to come ready to play.
God I miss the Stewie years when I never felt like this before big games because I KNEW we were going to win! When it is a coin flip, my stomach does flips too. I am going to be a mess today. Hopefully, the LSU-Iowa game helps distract me this afternoon. Go Hawkeye's! I can't stand Mulkey or Reese. Too crude and brash for my taste. Also do not like carpetbaggers Van Lith and Morrow transferring to LSU in an attempt to build an instant super team and win a repeat...

Wow. Just wow. Paige simply would not be denied. But she had help! Everyone contributed. All seven players had points. All seven players had rebounds. Just amazing!
It is very very rare when a UConn team exceeds my expectations for it. Yet this one did. I don't think we have a snowball's chance in hell against Iowa. But we are going back to the Final Four after a one year absence! That is all that matters tonight. I will save my hand-wringing about Iowa for another thread!

I loved watching them get beat! I saw a tearful presser from Reese about how horrible she gets treated on social media. Someone should tell her about a thing called humility. If she exercised more of it and less of her egotistical brashness, maybe she would not invite so much vitriol. |

I saw that presser and the main reason I don’t feel sorry for her is she chose to take on that persona she fed the media not just this season. The LSU women’s basketball program had media drama right from the first game ranked #1 and losing to Colorado. It feels good to be a Husky fan!!!!!!12!!!!!! |
